mistaken identity

So I normally do not write a mid-day blog, but this morning's bus ride was just too good to keep you all waiting!

I get on the bus and there is a woman sitting on one of the 3 person benches with her legs up so she is taking up 2 spaces.  This should not be shocking to anyone as I have tried to make it clear that people in Seattle think that they are the most important person on the bus.  I choose to sit next to her and thank god I did! 

Let me just remind all of you how the bus works:  You get on the bus and when you want to get off, you pull a handy dandy cord and it alerts the bus driver that they need to stop at the next stop.  It seems really simple and really obvious to me and most do not have problems with it. 

This broad proceeds to yell to the bus driver, "Let me off at Virginia!".  Mind you that Virginia street was the next stop.  I am so sorry my friend, I did not realize that we were on your charted bus in which you control the bus driver!  Does this look like an effin' taxi?!?!  Can we get you your slippers and a mimosa to go along with this luxurious ride you think you are on?? She doesnt even pull the cord and doesnt even catch herself even though I am completely mean-muggin' her.  Ugh

So as Princess Patty gets off the bus, (let me remind you, I am sitting on a 3 person bench) an older 'gentleman', sits down next to me.  He, of course, smells like he fluffs his clothes with discarded cigarette butts, so I scoot over as far as I can go.  This dude starts mumbling things and looking at me and starts scooting closer to me.  Now, luckily I was getting off at the next stop, but this guy continues to scoot close to me.  Listen buddy, I am sure you have no idea who you are messing with, but please do not make me yell at you.  1. its way too early on a Monday and 2. I do not want to start my week off with a fight! 

He was still mumbling and scooting as I was getting up to exit...creep-o!! 

If this morning's bus ride is any indication of how the afternoon will go, I am in trouble...I hate the bus
